Niamh POV
'Aahh! What, what's wrong ? Beth was jumping up and down on her knees on top of me. 'Get up, get up, get up Niamh NOW!'' Ugh I flung my head back under the sheets. 'Why..' I whined. 'You promised to take me and Annie to a party on the beach, let's go!'
I grunted and sat up unenthusiastically 'I wouldn't call it a party Beth and I definitely never mentioned going at 8am' 'But me and Annie wasn't to get their early cause Jilly's cousin goes to that beach and she said all the guys are hot!'
Hmm yeah Jilly's cousin is right from what I had seen. I shook my head. 'Hot? You and Annie are only 12…anyway don't boys have cooties?' I asked. 'Niamh! I'm practically a teenager, everyone knows that 12 is the new 14' 'Okay but I guess that means I'm 18 huh?' She looked at me unimpressed. 'Whatever…c'mon get up' I gave in. 'Okay I'm up I'm up the festival isn't starting till 12, hey is your Mum and Dad coming?'
'Mum said she might go to the bonfire later on but till then its just you, me and Annie...Eek this is going to be fun!'
I flopped down onto the bed 'sure fun' I said teasingly. Beth ran out of my room and I could hear her squealing in the distance. 'Annie I thought you were getting up!' I laughed aloud and dragged myself out of the warm comfort of my bed. I walked over to my drawers; they were still tidy from my unpacking. I glanced out the window to see the sun shining and grinned. I decided to make the most of the weather and pulled out my bikini, denim shorts and a light blue t shirt. Kate thought I would hate the weather here but the constant rain didn't bother me I was used to it. I threw on my clothes and pulled on a brush through my shoulder length blonde hair and left it down. I started to look around the floor and found my old navy converse under the bed. I ran across the hall to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. After a few minutes of poking my stomach and pulling silly faces in the mirror I decided not to bother with make up. I wasn't going to doll myself up just because there might be some hot guys on the beach…I'd just have to avoid them and stare from a distance.
I filled a bag with the essentials for the day and headed down stairs. The twins were both sitting down watching TV with bowls of cereal on their laps. 'So' I said filling my own bowl of cereal how early did you want to be at the beach at?' they looked at each other and answered in unison. '10; 30' I laughed. Freaky twins. 'That's actually reasonable' I stated surprised.
'Yeah we decided to watch Justin Biebers new concert DVD before we go'. I rolled my eyes 'Great' I muttered. Note the sarcasm I was not a Beiber fan. I pulled out my book and waited for the torture to end.
We finally pulled up at first beach just before 11 and jumped out to walk down to the beach. The whole parking lot was packed with people walking around and shouting to each other. Just beyond the visitor centre I could see some stalls being set up. We walked down to the sand and laid out our towels on the surprisingly quiet beach. Everyone must be getting ready I thought. I threw my shoes off and pulled my book back out. 'I'm just going to sit here for a while what are you two going to do?' I asked. 'We're going swimming' Annie said pulling her shirt off to reveal her swimsuit. 'Yeah but then I have to work on my tan before the cute boys come' Beth said pushing her sunglasses up on her head and flicking her hair back. Annie rolled her eyes and grabbed her twins' hand pulling her towards the water. I laughed and shouted after them 'Be careful and don't go too far!' I took of my clothes and lay back down in my bikini to read, relax and hopefully get a tan.
Seth POV
I never thought it would be like this, I thought imprinting would be the best thing that could happen to me but its not it hurts. It hurts so bad. My chest feel like its been ripped apart, I can't sleep properly and I can't think straight. The only thing keeping me going is that I know she's alive and I'm pretty sure she's safe, I'd know if she wasn't. I want to hate the girl that's done this to me, who's taken away my will, my life but I can't. She's already everything to me.
I've spent a lot of time in my room alone; I haven't got the will power to do anything else. The guys suggested phasing; they said it would be easier to deal with the emotions, oh boy were they wrong. I had thought the pain couldn't get worse but it did. The wolf was completely devastated, so heart broken. He had stopped being angry at everyone and now was just angry at me, for being so weak, for letting her go. The wolfs pain was so bad that Sam and Jared who were phased in at the time started howling in pain and them ran straight back to their imprints Now I spent my time doing the only thing I could think of- waiting.
I was woken from an agonisingly restless sleep by Leah barging into my room yet again this week. 'Leave' I told her without looking. She ignored me, flung the curtains open and grabbed my shoulder, turning me to face her. 'Get up!' she cried. 'No' I answered in a dead voice I nearly didn't recognise as my own. She started to shout. 'Seth, get up, this isn't helping anything, and you'll never find your imprint if all you do is curl up in bed. You have to get your shit together and try, don't give up! At least make an effort to live, to find your girl. I know your in pain, we all get that but you've stopped fighting!' She saw the look of shock on my face and sighed.
'Look Seth, we're all worried about you and we're all willing to help. The guys have been planning road trips as far as Seattle and Portland to help you look for her. The way I see it is that you were destined to be with her so I have absolutely no doubt you'll find her, it's just a matter of time.'
As she spoke I could feel my energy rising and a spark of hope filled me for the first time in days. Lee was right I would find her-we belonged together.
Leah saw this and a smile graced her features 'I have an idea' she said looking out the window. 'Yes!' I said eagerly finding myself on my feet. 'She was here in La Push but she's not from here, unless you're a weird imprint like Quil, she's probably your age. Most teens from around here rarely visit especially on their own, which means she's new to the area…'
I didn't see how this was helping. 'Leah- 'So' she interrupted 'if she's new around here and is interested in La Push she'll be here today'. Now I was totally confused, why today? I think Leah understood my expression. 'Today's the festival Seth, I think she's coming.
I froze, my wolf howled with hope. He agreed with Leah. I began to run to the door but Leah put a hand out to stop me. 'It's already started, I'm supposed to be helping Mom sell the cakes and your bracelets, I'll keep an eye and nose out for her but you should shower first and put on some clean clothes-you look like shit' I grinned at her and she smiled back joyfully and pulled me into a tight hug. She whispered into my ear 'Go get your girl'.
